THE SILK AGITATION.

The heading represents thing Of
the not distant past. Why all the talk,
with little action, which took place
about year ago amounted to nothing
is hard to say The slight experiment
tation with mulberry and silkworms
proved that both had congenial cline
here. There was a unanimity Of senti-
ment in the papers that silk-raising was
feasible as we'll as desirable for one of
the new industries that all we're agreed
should be diligently sought after. Still,
only one poor foreigner started out in
anything practical, and although he
was not without experience in silk
growing abroad, although he demon
strated at once his capacity for the
business and the adaptability OF the
business to the country, no assistance
was accorded him by either the Gov
eminent or persons supposed to be
enthusiastically in favor Of establishing
new industries, and he dropped out Of
sight and probably left the country in
disappointment. In the meantime an
organization has been maintained in a
vigorous condition in California, for
the promotion Of The silk-raIsing indus
try. Lately accounts have been re-
ceived by the association, that samples
of silk sent East by it had been pro
nounced of superior quality by expert
dealers in the article, At the same
time the association has obtained
knowledge of the best variety Of null
berry for the climate and procured
quantities Of it for distribution among
the members If there is any profit in
the industry at all, the probability is
that the enterprising Californians will
shortly be participators in it. There
is no reason but the lack Of enterprise
and cooperation among residents O
these islands, why the industry should
not be planted here and become ar
important adjunct of national pros
periy. The day may come before oul
people are aware, when they will wish
they had taken steps to test the feast
bility of suggested new industries. Il
is not necessary to adopt the position
of an alarmist, to utter a warning that
there is possible imminence Of col
lapse threatening the basis of the pres
ent prosperity. Forewarned is fore
armed, with wise people, and a small
modicum Of provision now may be
worth vast effort at provision for any
evil day when it dawns.

Popular Science.

The light from an electric lamp tower
in Davenport, Iowa, falls full upon a
flower garden about one hundred feet
away, and during the last summer the
owner has observed that lilies which
have usually bloomed only in the day
have opened in the night, and that
morning glories have Enclosed their
blossoms as soon as the electric light
fell on them.
The latest thing in instantaneous
photography is the suggestion of the
French Academy of Sciences that an
international conference be held in
Paris next spring to make arrangements
for the elaboration Of Photographic
map of the heavens, tob simultaneously
executed at ten or twelve obseryatories,
scattered over the surface of the EARTH
Electrical heating stoves are being
introduced in France, peculiar fea-
ture of their construction being that
the wires are let through apertures
formed in plates of refractory clay and
plumbago, These plates are not in
closed, but are left exposed, SO that the
air can circulate very freely through
the apertures where it comes in contact
with the red-hot wires. Wire bobbins
are inserted in the apertures, each bob
bin forming part of the electric circuit,
and all being connected for quantity;
the bobbins are heated by the passage
of the current, and serve to heat the
air as it passes to and fro over them.
Among the prizes of the Paris
Academy of Sciences the present year
is one of $500 for the most important
improvement of steam engines, or any
other invention contributing most to
the progress of steam navigation;
gold medal for the most interesting
observation on work most conducive
to the progress of astronomy; $4,000
for the best work on the theory of
Jupiter's satellites, discussing the OBJ
seryations and deducting the constants
contained in it, especially that which
furnishes direct determination of the
velocity Of light; 5000 for any i'm
portant improvement in the theory OF
the application Of electricity to the
transmission of force; ST. for the
work most conducive to the progress
OF organic chemistry; also on the in
huence exercised on earthquakes by
the geological constitution of a country,
by the action of water, or Of any other
physical causes.

A Patent Declared Invalid.


WASHINGTON, November l4.-What is
known as the "Drivcr Well Patent"
which has been several times before the
United States Supreme Court, and which
has always heretofore been sustained,
was to-day declared invalid in the opin-
ion by Justice Blatchford, based upon
the record in Case No. lG, Andrews
Green and others against George Hovey,
brought here by an appeal from the
United States Circuit Court for the
Southern district of Ohio. This court
holds that the fact. now made for the first
time in the Driver well litigation, that
the invention was used in public at
Cortland, n. Y, 10y others than Green
more than two years before the applica-
ton for a patent WAS made is fact
which is fatal to the patents validity.
The decree of tho Circuit Court in favor
of the alleged infringer, Hovey, is al
firmed.
